Tenryukyo Onsen Hidden Inn in the Valley Kyosen

Thank you for everything.The hospitality was outstanding.The meals, in particular, were exceptional, and we enjoyed the many thoughtful touches.Since we arrived a bit late, I wish we had checked in earlier so we could relax and explore the area.I recommend arriving early.At first, it was difficult to connect to the Room Wi-Fi, which was stressful, but I eventually gave up and simply enjoyed the nature and the baths.It made me realize that spending time that way once in a while is nice too.Next time, I would like to visit again in a different season to enjoy the nature and the food.

From the daybed in our Room, we could see the white rock faces of Tenryukyo Gorge and the green river, and enjoyed a truly luxurious time. Dinner was especially memorable, with each course served to follow the highlights of Tenryukyo Gorge, making it fun to dine while imagining the scenery. Local ingredients such as handmade soba, caviar (the staff explained it is farmed in Iida), and yukimasu trout were beautifully presented and a delight to look at as well.The large public bath has only an indoor bath and is not very spacious, but it also faces Tenryukyo Gorge, so we could see the river from the bath and relax in the Onsen.Thank you very much for a comfortable stay.
